Curly Cress

19 Reviews

Description
No soak needed for this peppery sprout!

Current lot is a differnt variety than the previous lot which just means the leaves are slightly different and not as curly. Rest assured, it's still that great peppery Cress flavor!
- Days to Sprout Sprout- 4-5 days. Microgreen- 8-12 days
- Soak Time NO SOAK
- Yield Sprouts- 1 tbsp dry seed yields approx. 2-3 cups sprouts. Microgreens- 1 tbsp dry seed yields approx. 8-12 cups microgreens.
- Storage Our seeds should sprout well for a year after you purchase them, if stored in a cool dry place. If you'd like to extend the germination life of your seeds, store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer, they'll last even longer!

Sprouting Directions

Do Not Soak Seed

Dampen an unglazed clay pot bottom or tray lined with Baby Blanket, unbleached paper towel or coffee filter, or soil. Sprinkle lightly with dry seeds, leaving space between the seeds. Spray lightly with water until damp but not too wet. Preserve moisture by loosely covering seeds with clear plastic.

Spray lightly with water twice a day. Keep damp, but not too wet. When established, sprouts can be rinsed under a slow flowing tap.

Enjoy! Ready in 4-8 days.

Sprouts store best when fairly dry- do not store immediately after rinsing.

I love the taste, but my husband finds it a bit strong. He prefers a mixture of alfalfa and curly cress. They're fairly easy to grow as a sprout in a sproutmaster, especially when mixed with alfalfa. I've tried these as microgreens but I really can't be bothered using a baby blanket. They're a mucilaginous seed so don't panic if you see slime, just be really diligent about rinsing.

Terrific seeds. I bought them for micro shoots. Don't be put off by the funky scent shortly after germination because these seeds develop into some of the finest shoots my family & I have ever tasted. So much flavour, so little effort & cost! Thanks Mumms.
